The Kroger stores here even used to have chicken sounds near the eggs, but now that you guys mention it, I don't hear them, or the cows moo-ing when I open thew dairy door anymore.

No, the one in Chicago is still there (on Clark), unless it just VERY recently closed. A check of their site doesn't indicate that, though. :shrug

I've never been there (it seemed tourist-trappy), but I can see where kids would really enjoy it.

I went here for the first time on Saturday night. The food is simply divine. If you go as a group or couple just remember the portions are huge. A large option of dish can be split between four people easily. I would highly recommend this restaurant if there is one near you.

We love Buca di Beppo!!! So difficult for us to agree on what to share because it is all so yummy. Sitting at the kitchen table is a must. We got an entire entree of chicken parm for free - in addition to our order - because someone prepared it by mistake. Rather than throw it out, they gave it to us. The servers kept stopping by the table to show us the food they were serving, explaining what each was and how it was prepared. Fun!

WHen I was a kid, there used to be a restaurant we would go to sometimes called the Hawaiian Village. It looked like the Tiki Bird Show at Disney World.
Every half hour the volcano erupted. I always thought it was so cool.

Amanda, I was thinking of the one on Ontario or Ohio, not far from the expressway. Is that the same one? Maybe I was thinking of Planet Hollywood? I know they were situated pretty close to one another. Oops. I made a geographical boo boo.

I think it's on Clark and Ohio, but I tend to get the downtown streets mixed up in my head a lot. :mmm

It doesn't matter either way, really, unless someone is reading this thread thinking "Man, I would really love to go to the downtown Chicago Rainforest Cafe; I wonder if it's open?" And I doubt they are. :lol

Our grocery store has those damned mooing cows in the dairy section. I always picture a couple of snickering teenage boys, hunkered down behind the milk jugs as they're stocking the shelves, hitting a "moo" button everytime I walk by. :ohno

I'd be paranoid if something moo'd when I walked by...like someone was giving me a not-so-subtle hint to get back on that treadmill! But I'll bet the kids shopping with their parents get a kick out of it!
